The Government of Rwanda recognizes TVET as one of the central pillars of economic transformation and industrial development. The ministerial order N° 003/MINEDUC/2021 of 20/10//2021 determines the new Rwanda Qualification Framework which introduces the additional qualification types of Bachelor of Technology (BTech) and Master of Technology (MTech) in the TVET sub-sector that are meant to graduate a highly competent workforce. The graduates of these programs are expected to have strong technological and innovative abilities to conceive, experiment, manipulate, prototype and deliver industrial concepts, products and services capable of catering to the evolving needs of society.
To introduce these new qualifications, RP has identified Automotive technology and Construction technology as emerging areas with many technological changes. In regard to this, RP has developed two new BTech programs which will be implemented in the academic year 2022-2023. The BTech programs combine technological and innovative studies so that the graduates will be able to function at various levels in the workplace, from shop floor technologies to management. The course work, bringing together technology and innovation along with mandatory industry-based work experiences, will bestow students with advanced skills to make technology and innovation decisions in an industry-based context.
Therefore, Rwanda Polytechnic (RP) informs the public that the two programs of Bachelor of Technology in Construction Technology at RP-IPRC Huye and Bachelor of Technology in Automotive Technology at RP-IPRC Kigali will start in the academic year 2022-2023.
